This Week in Reading Camino Island by John Grisham Last week I walked three blocks to my local supermarket and bought a bag of coffee beans, a package of tortellini, and the latest John Grisham paperback, Camino Island. I listened to an interview with John Grisham when he was on the Longform podcast last summer (perhaps that is what planted the initial seed for this little reading/life/art project), and I listened to it again yesterday as I neared the end of the novel. It is a great episode, for the record. After working a series of blue collar jobs, Grisham went to law school and became an attorney. He served as a Mississippi state representative for a little bit before becoming a writer. In the interview, he laughingly says that his critics always disparage his books as mere beach reads, so with this latest one (his 30th novel!) he set out to craft the ultimate beach read.
